Oddly good PPV, although the Riggs/Whipwreck match is hilariously bad.

I loved watching this show live with my friends on PPV. The highlights, as I recall, are:
Ric Flair vs Dallas Page vs Hulk Hogan vs Sting (And DDP deserved to win the gold after building himself up for as long as he did)
Bam Bam Bigelow vs Hardcore Hak (People say WCW's hardcore division largely sucked, but this was an ECW-quality hardcore match)
Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko vs Raven & Saturn
Juvi vs Blitzkreig
Does WWE actually air Benoit's match on WWE 24/7, or do they just bleep out his name whenever it's mentioned?

Sandmans WCW run was hilarious - he really didn't fit in at all but it was fantastic to watch. His triple-threat hardcore match with Bigelow & ... Raven? I believe at Uncensored '99 was so bad it was wonderful; one of my favourite matches of all time yet I can't fully remember who was in it.

One of the better WCW PPV'S ever.
I think this actually may be the beats all WWF PPV's from 1999 except maybe Backlash, which ironically happened two weeks later.

I don't remember much about this particular PPV, but it looks like a fun card.

The finish in the Bitzkerg match was scary.

Isn't this where Hogan turned face by accident?

This is probably WCW's last truly good PPV. The tag title match is terrific, Blitzkrieg vs. Juvi is great, the hardcore match is fun, etc. I remember being utterly baffled by the main event finish when I saw the PPV initially. DDP's title run and random heel turn of course pretty much killed ratings something fierce. I think WCW went from doing a 4.4 to doing a 3.5 by the time he lost to Nash a month later. This isn't to say there weren't other factors (NBA playoffs, Hogan's injury, hot WWF product), but going with a heel DDP as champ just wasn't a good idea.
